Narcissists are everywhere in this ripe age of self-love, which amazes me because so much in life would seem to foster humility. Each of us is a potential source of foolishness, each of us must endure the consequences of the foolishness of others, and in addition to all of that, Nature frequently works to impress upon us our absurdity and thereby remind us that we are not the masters of the universe that we like to suppose we are. - Odd Thomas - Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz pg 62 chapter 8
Dean KoontzThereโs just something unsettling about studying your reflection. Itโs not a matter of being dissatisfied with your face or of being embarrassed by your vanity. Maybe itโs that when you gaze into your own eyes, you donโt see what you wish to seeโor glimpse something that you wish werenโt there.
Dean KoontzI have a sofa on which I never nap, big windows with an ocean view that I rarely see because I keep the pleated shades down at all times while working. I know I'm a potential slacker, so I don't tempt myself.
